“By Space Ship to the Moon” by Jack Coggins and Fletcher Pratt. New York: Random House, (1952). Illustrated by Jack Coggins.

            From the Introduction (by Willey Ley): 

“. . . Now the engineers are talking about space travel.  They are confident that they can do the things that need to be done to bring it about.  They don’t say that they can do it today or tomorrow; nor do they say that it will be easy.  But they do say that, if given some time (say between twelve and twenty years) and the necessary money (a few billion dollars, or about as much as was given to the Atomic Energy program) they can build a station in space and a moon ship, too . . . So, it was the moon that started the whole idea of space travel.  And, worthwhile or not, it will be the first heavenly body to be reached by Man.”
